Visa and sponsorship notes
Most employers will sponsor workers through the temporary foreign worker process and an approved LMIA. This means the employer demonstrates a need for foreign workers and supports your application for a Canadian work permit. Sponsorship processes and timelines vary — ask the employer for clear steps and expected dates before you accept an offer.
Support for African and Asian applicants
We welcome applications from African and Asian communities and other overseas candidates. If you are applying from abroad or English is not your first language, please say so in your application. Employers or recruiters may be able to:
- Explain the visa and LMIA steps and timelines in plain language
- Tell you which documents are usually required (passport, CV, work references, any trade certificates)
- Offer reasonable adjustments for interviews (extra time, written instructions or an interpreter)
Important: meeting eligibility for a Canadian work permit is essential. Employers can assist, but you must meet immigration and health requirements.
